GC Afternoon Sabbatical offers a 'Christmas Medley' Dec. 9
GOSHEN, Ind. -- The spirit of Christmas is in the air at Goshen College. The Dec. 9 Afternoon Sabbatical, "A Christmas Medley," at 1 p.m. in the Goshen College Music Center's Sauder Concert Hall will begin the holiday celebrations with a collection of wonderful seasonal offerings.
"A Christmas Medley" will feature the piano duo of Beverly Lapp, associate professor of music, and Christine Seitz, assistant professor of music; a character reading of a Christmas story by Professor of Theater Doug Caskey and friends; "More With Brass," a brass group composed of Goshen College personnel and community members; a student ensemble and the unique chance to sing Christmas carols in the Sauder Concert Hall.
A Christmas tea will follow. The program is free and open to the public.
Originally, the December Afternoon Sabbatical was planning to feature Goshen College instructor of music and classical guitarist Matthias Stegmann in an interdisciplinary Christmas program, but had to be changed because Stegmann experienced a hand injury.
The Afternoon Sabbatical program is in its 25th season of offering a rich diversity of programs for the community. A committee composed of community representatives and college personnel look to the wealth of knowledge and talent that Goshen College affords and selects programs that will appeal to a wide variety of interests. Programs have an integral connection to the college -- either through subject matter or through presenter's affiliation with the college.
Afternoon Sabbatical programs are generally on the second Tuesday at 1 p.m. either in the Sauder Concert Hall or the Umble Center on the campus and are free and open to the public. For more information on the Afternoon Sabbatical series call the Goshen College Welcome Center at (574) 535-7566 or e-mail joannp@goshen.edu.
